Diluted apple juice. That’s pretty much the only thing she’ll drink when feeling bad.

I tried to drink Pedialyte after I got really sick in college and was ready to go to the hospital for dehydration. That stuff was so disgusting, that I threw it up. Pretty counterproductive, don’t you think? I don’t know how kids can drink it. Have you found any other remedies since this story was written?

Since I wrote the story, I’ve also heard about the hangover cure thing. But what I really want to know is if anyone has ever seen a Pedialytini, like the Red Bull martinis. I’m positive this will be the new power drink. Red Bull fueled the last dot.com boom, Pedialyte will power the next.

There actually is an underground pedialyte cult following outside of the dehydrated baby market – not as a sports drink per se, but as a hangover remedy.

We ended up putting a “bibster” (thanks, Shauna) on her after the third time.

I thought the RIAA got an injunction against those guys.

Our son only had one barfing episode. We think he picked up a Norwalk type virus from the Wakemed pediatric emergency room. He was there getting stitches and we let him play with all the toys in the waiting room. The same toys played with by all the other sickies.

I ended up sitting on the bathroom floor holding him. Neither of us were wearing my clothes. It made it a lot easier to clean up. Luckily the episode did not last all night.

Sebastian: It does seem to have been too much food this time, but we’ll keep an eye out for any future virus.

Hannah: We ended up putting a “bibster” (thanks, Shauna) on her after the third time. Not quite a barf bag, but a step in that direction.

Eduarda: Glad you like the site. Camera info is in Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) located below Trixie Telemetry on the site home page.

Kelly: Thanks for the popsicle suggestion. I also thought about making some Pedialyte ice cubes, but didn’t get around to it.

Hi. I found your site through the N&O article. I’m a full-time mom of a 23 mo. old here in Cary. I love your site. It’s interesting to see what other babies are up to and parents of course. It’s alittle weird visiting your site w/o knowing you personally…I feel a bit nosey:0)

Anyways, I read your latest entry about your long night. We had a similar incident a few weeks back and I wanted to suggest popsicles. They were the only thing that worked for fluid intake. The only drawback is now everytime I open the freezer, Jack (our son) yells for popsicles!! It was the first time he had been introduced to them. You can find all juice ones that are healthier than the sugar pops. They really seem to do the trick for preventing dehyration.

Hope Trixie continues to feel better. And you have a better night.
